Jeron. terrific spring feeling here. loved the pose and the comp. size of subject in the frame is perfect IMO. as Ofer mentioned, you've handled the light very well...which is not very easy.
I actually like the light direction, something I would not haver thought just by the thumb. Terrific setting. The bird itself has a greenish cast (no doubt caused by the grasses)...adding about 20 points of magenta in "Color Balance" selectively the the subject does wonders IMO. What do you think?
